It takes numerous ability, or lack thereof, to crash a automobile you are not even driving. On this case, a towing try gone horribly unsuitable resulted within the car supposed to be towed crashing right into a restaurant not simply as soon as, however twice. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Workplace not solely tells us the way it all went down, however it shared safety digital camera footage that exhibits the entire thing.
On July 30, a maroon Mercury Montego parked in entrance of AutoZone in College Place, Washington. The motive force left it there in a single day, telling workers that he could be again to tow it away because it wasn’t working properly. He returned at 3:45 a.m. in a white Honda Pilot with a tow dolly to comply with by means of on his promise. It wasn’t till 5:15 that the driving force started pulling the automobile not on the dolly, however utilizing a tow rope, which snapped earlier than he even obtained out of the lot. He tried to safe the automobile once more, however failed epically at 5:50 when the automobile rolled again throughout the lot and crashed into the Pho and Teriyaki restaurant subsequent to the AutoZone. The person made a valiant effort to cease the automobile from the skin utilizing muscle groups and sheer power of will, however to no avail. He jumped away from the automobile proper earlier than the crash and appeared to keep away from damage. That might be unhealthy sufficient, however issues obtained a lot worse.
However wait, there’s extra
The Honda Pilot then pulled up in entrance of the restaurant, and the driving force connected the tow rope as soon as once more. He succeeded in pulling the automobile to the opposite facet of the lot, just for it to roll again throughout the lot and crash into the restaurant a second time. As soon as once more, he pulled it away, just for the Montego to get caught up alongside a retaining wall and curb because of an amazingly lengthy tow rope, leaving him unable to manage it. At this level, he deserted the automobile, which was now probably broken past any restore you could possibly purchase at AutoZone, and left the scene.
There are such a lot of questions right here. Why did not he use the dolly he was towing behind the Pilot? Why did he proceed to belief the tow rope that stored failing with ever extra disastrous outcomes? Why did he use such an extended tow rope? Why did not the lady who obtained out of the Pilot throughout the third try assist in any respect?
Additionally, kudos to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Workplace for utilizing the right soundtrack for this video: “Yakety Sax,” higher often called the Benny Hill theme. They’re investigating this fiasco as a hit-and-run, which is suitable, and superb contemplating the automobile that hit the restaurant did not also have a driver.
